There it rests in the reeds Along a quiet marsh Darkened wood with rusted sutures Weather worn and harsh One lone oar lays aside A crabtrap tossed and broken The quiet breaks for a small sloop Shiney, new and oaken Between the two the memory Lies in the older boat For painted flakes that dot the sides For the memories still afloat � 2004 Susan K. Rowse

Susan,
Love this piece. The older I get the more I feel like that boat. Life sorta has a way of doing that to a person. Outstanding imagery my friend.

I fished many a time in marshes like that for speckled trout, those are good spots for memories.
